EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1911 transports us to the mystical landscape of Men-an-Tol in Madron, Cornwall. The image showcases a general view of this ancient archaeological site, with its iconic holed stone taking center stage. Standing proudly amidst the rugged moorland, the Men-an-Tol is shrouded in mystery and folklore. To the left of this enigmatic stone formation, we see a reclining man, perhaps lost in deep contemplation or seeking solace within these sacred surroundings. His presence adds a sense of scale and perspective to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and humbling nature of this historic place. Flanking either side are two standing stones that stand as silent guardians over this timeless landscape. These weathered sentinels bear witness to countless generations who have passed through here, leaving behind traces of their existence for archaeologists to unravel. The photographer responsible for capturing this remarkable moment was Herbert Hughes. Through his lens, he immortalized not just an archaeological site but also conveyed the ethereal beauty found within Cornwall's wild landscapes. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Royal Cornwall Museum, our imagination is ignited by thoughts of ancient rituals performed at Men-an-Tol and tales whispered among gorse-covered hillsides. It serves as a poignant reminder that history lives on through such preserved treasures and encourages us to explore further into Cornwall's rich heritage.
